Lyrics

Ever since you went away
Every time I see your face
I'm so sad about it
Two long years it's been since you gone
Twenty-four years since the day you were born
Tears fill my eyes, I can still hear my mama cry
When I think back to the day that you died
May 16th, 2G, they took your life
And ever since then I've been searching for the light
Still searching for the justice that escaped us
Sometimes I feel the cops were part of the murderers that raped us
By taking your presence from this earth
Leaving us with twenty-two years of memories of your birth
We walk this wicked earth with your picture on our shirt
Spending your birthday laying flowers on your dirt
It's like being sentenced to a lifetime of hurt
Condolences cards and I'm sorrys, they don't work
To get closure we need justice for real
And anything less, there's no deal
Ever since you went away
Every time I see your face
I'm so sad about it
Ever since you went away
Every time I see your face
Where's the justice in it all?
I know people in the neighborhood know who did it
But when you approach them they be afraid to admit it
I be like "Damn, my brother died murdered on your block
Right here where your little kids play and walk
Right here where the sign reads 'Neighborhood Watch'
Right here where your wife come home in the dark
And you don't wanna help me get these murderers off the street
Next time it could be your lover laying on the concrete"
But they just turn their head like they don't wanna help
It's a shame how some people just be out for self
I don't want what happened to me to happen to you
But what happened to me can also happen to you
If we don't get more help, more neighborhood support
More people willing to testify in the court
To get these murderers off the street for good
Before they come creeping in your neighborhood
Ever since you went away
Every time I see your face
Where's the justice in it all?
I'm so sad about it
Ever since you went away
Every time I see your face
Where's the justice in it all?
Two detectives working on my brother's case in D.C
While the rest of police force out searching for Levy
Two years and my brother's case still unsolved
Police detectives don't even return my calls
Still putting Crime Stoppers posters on the wall
Praying and hoping that somebody would call
With the information needed to bring this case to a close
We can't bring you back Damien but we can still get those
That did this to you, put 'em where they belong
We won't stop searching no matter how long
They gonna pay for what they did
I know they see your face each and every time they lay their head
I know they hear your voice every night and can't sleep
'Cause they know they gonna join you six feet deep
It's on their mind, that's why they keep running
It's just a matter of time, they gonna get what's coming
Ever since you went away
Every time I see your face
Where's the justice in it all?
I'm so sad about it
Ever since you went away
Every time I see your face
Where's the justice in it all?
What's up y'all?
Once again I'd like to welcome y'all to Unsolved
I'm L.K., your driver
Taking you on a journey through beats and lyrics and lyrics and beats
If you don't know by now this trip is dedicated to my brother Dame
So just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride
Through life
Yeah
A lot of cats today man, they don't value life
They'd rather live trife or take it with a gun or a knife
It's like they don't fear God
Man that's woe like Black Wall
But they never fail to call on him when times are hard
Life is precious don't you know?
Like the finest of all stones
But some peeps wanna do it faster than Murray and Jones
What's up with that?
You got nine lives but you a cat
You better catch the foul and live your life like that
Yeah, what is life?
Could it be the blood in your vein?
The beat in your heart or the thoughts in your brain?
Some peeps they can't handle life, it drives 'em insane
Next thing you know they jumping in front of a train
And just because you got cheddar don't make your life better
More money, more problems, Biggie couldn't have said it better
Innocent serving life, that's wrong as Sharkey
Remind me of that movie with Eddie and Martin
Out at the dark I see the light sunny and bright
Get on my knees and thank God I made it through the night
'Cause tomorrow's not promised to no one on earth
Don't you know we start dying on the day of birth?
And that's life
